I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?

The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations:
Possible Causes
- Irritation or Allergic Reaction: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort.
- Cuts or Micro-Trauma: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity.
- STDs or STIs: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals.
- Balanitis: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection.
Next Steps
- Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause.
- Get Tested for STDsSTIs: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections.
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area.
- Abstain from Sexual Activity: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?
